Providing COVID-safe healthcare, always. Long COVID causes silent (and not so silent) organ damage and there is as yet, no cure. You'd be a fool to continue to expose yourself to those risks.

@who.int Director-General's remarks at a media briefing on 10 December 2024:
"We cannot talk about COVID in the past tense. It’s still with us, it still causes acute disease and Long COVID, and it still kills.
The world might want to forget about COVID-19, but we cannot afford to."

If one more person reminds me to #BeKind I will…
